5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful voice!, August 31, 2005

I have always loved music of Capercaillie mostly because of gentle but also powerful voice of their singer Karen Matheson.

"The Dreamins Sea" is her debut solo release, quite influenced by Capercaillie's style, but providing more opportunities to Karen to express her jazz feelings together with traditional Celtic instruments.

I can listen to it again and again and I always like the music. It is warm, soft an fair - if you like Capercaillie, this is also a must-have for you.

Like previous reviewers, I can't get enough of this CD. I listen to it over and over. Karen Matheson has a beautiful voice and her chosen music is wonderful. I also enjoy CDs by the group, Capercaille, where she is the lead singer. However, I really hope she'll release another recording of her own.

A wonderful CD, had it actually for some time before the said release, and find it useful to change my mood during the day from typical cynicism to a more upbeat productive sense, hah. Find it to be an excellent blend of traditional gaelic and modern mixes (except for my dislike of country/western). Find the vocalizations superb and the instrumentation gentle and carefree.
